Jeffrey, I'm not sure what is going on here. But the example you show appears to show different files from the ones in /c/cygwin/usr/share/man/man1. The files you copied with rsync are: > ls -inl > total 184 > 1130522 -rw-r--r-- 2 501 501 78716 Jul 24 08:57 gawk.1 > 1130521 -rw-

Excellent it looks that fixed it. That's kinda lame you can't just change the TopDir. Thanks for the help. Heath On Nov 10, 2009, at 2:00 PM, Les Mikesell wrote: > Heath Yob wrote: >> I've changed the TopDir to /CLIENTBACKUPS. >> >> pc and cpool directories are in there now. >> >> I'm getting a

That sounds like a different sort of problem then. A deduplicator is a program that walks through a filesystem and finds identical files, and then hard links them together to save space. On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 12:57 PM, Nick Bright wrote: > Shawn Perry wrote: >> Did you use a disk deduplicator
